How to track your kitchen inventory with Vule
Keep track of what's in your fridge and pantry with Vule. Transfer items from your grocery list, scan with your camera, or add manually.
How many times have you bought something at the store only to find you already had it at home? Vule includes a kitchen inventory feature that tracks what you have on hand — so you always know what's in your fridge, freezer, and pantry.
There are several ways to add items to your inventory, so it fits naturally into your routine:
- Transfer from Grocery List — after shopping, tap 'Move to Inventory' to transfer purchased items in one step.
- Add manually — type in an item name, category, and optional expiration date.
- Scan a barcode — use the built-in scanner to identify packaged products instantly.
- Photo scan (Pro) — point your camera at ingredients on your counter and AI identifies and adds them to inventory automatically.
Items in your inventory are organized by category — produce, dairy, meat, grains, canned goods, and more. You can see everything at a glance and quickly check what you need to restock.
The inventory also connects to Vule's AI features. When you use AI to generate a recipe, it can look at your current inventory and suggest recipes based on what you already have — reducing waste and saving trips to the store.
Tip: Get in the habit of transferring grocery items to inventory right after shopping. It takes one tap in Vule and keeps your inventory accurate without any extra effort.
